Let's be honest here - this game isn't dying and the current state is passable. That being said, this performance journey has been absolutely frought with heartache and setbacks. It's not just capacity - which helps - but I feel like it's also the engine itself isn't scaling well. MYM was a great time and they should've been the new norm. We'll never know why it's cyclical upscaling rather than just leaving in place when they clearly benefit from it.
Honestly, zos. Not to be rude or anything but your performance plan actually sucks. Its barely fixing anything with the game and has only become worse since elsweyr. This is not the devs fault, but the management's fault. They are pushing the devs to make use of all the little server capacity to make the game slightly smoother when it still runs like ***. We all know how *** the performance is, especially in cyrodiil prime time.
Whatever the *** you guys did during MYM event, worked. Servers were running fine with only slight lag in big fights probably because Zo$ rented some server capacity during event. However Zo$ wants to make as much money as possible while spending as little as possible so they wont purchase any more servers to make up for the lag. This will be the games demise. I swear to god this game will die faster than a frog getting decapitated once a new and exciting mmo comes out.
Dont fix the servers, buy more capacity so you dont fkin fry them.

Passable is for each of us to determine for ourselves. This isn't passable for my gf and I. I know how much better it has been and can be. I've watched entire guilds leave because it also wasn't passable to them. I'm not quitting this game but I am waiting to see where it goes. Skills are not working correctly. I do agree with your game engine comment, something somewhere isn't in sync where it should be. MYM was better than right before it and has gotten worse after, it is noticeable.

Yeah, that's fair. I got frustrated during the skill-bar-freezing period. It hasn't happened since the last update, but now I see quest NPCs duplicating or just straight up not appearing. I just feel like it's always something.

The real problem that it is impossible to play if none of your friends are online, of course I mean to play in a group.
Nothing has been done so far to push the players to form game groups, this is still an mmo if you want to play solo there is always skyrim.
Finishing a vet dungeon dlc like DD, without friends but in random is almost a miracle.
In terms of performance, I think they are doing something to improve everything, perhaps slowly but they are doing.
What is missing is the quality of life improvements.
